Monkey 3 - 39 Laps (2006)

 

The second album from this band from Switzerland.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and voices.

This album is the follow up to their pretty good 2003 self-titled debut album. The music was back then instrumental heavy prog.

The band continues down the same road on this fifty minutes long album. 

The band has incorporated a lot of post-rock and stoner rock into their take on heavy prog. There are also some wordless death metal grunts in their music too. 

The music is still pretty melodic and also a bit light and sunny. Most of the album is unsparingly hard and heavy.

The music is a bit too one-dimensional to really making this a great, or even a good album. There are some good and some decent themes here. Check out this album if hard and heavy instrumental rock is your thing.
